Embark on a four-night Mekong river cruise from Vietnam to Cambodia, sailing upstream from Can Tho to Phnom Penh. En route, explore floating markets, historic temples and local craft industries such as silk weaving and incense-making.
Victoria Mekong offers passengers a uniquely elegant small-ship cruising experience, with passengers invited to make use of the onboard spa, library, games room, infinity pool and two bars. As the ship makes its way downriver, enjoy cocktail making demonstrations, cultural lectures, classical Apsara performances and lion dances, and while away your evenings in the ship's infinity pool as the sun sets over the delta before retiring to your beautiful stateroom. All 35 cabins have mini-safes, Wi-Fi access, private balconies and premium mattresses for a peaceful night's sleep.
